Well, it’s Sunday again already! What a week it has been as the fall weather in New England brought us the first overnight frost of the year. I begin looking at smaller cigars that are still enjoyable but cut the smoking time down. I love the crisp fall days but with the shorter days and [...]

Happy Sunday folks! The chill of winter has finally started to grip us up here in New England. Now me and my fellow Brothers of leaf have retreated to our favorite B&Ms to enjoy our smokes. This weekend I enjoyed one of the new Camacho Liberty 2013, which was quite the stick, I’ll be putting [...]

Happy Sunday to all my fellow Brothers of the Leaf. The past week has been a busy one for me again, so I am thrilled for the chance to relax and take it easy today. Here in the North East I have the opportunity to enjoy the fall foliage before the chill of winter brings [...]

I can’t think of anything I look forward to more in a week than my Sundays. Some people are Friday people, and I understand that, Friday is the end of the work week. Yet most Saturdays are spent catching up on stuff around the house and other responsibilities. So really it is my Sundays that [...]

Well, it’s Sunday again and wow has the weather been incredible here in New England. Crisp cool mornings and nice clear days with temperatures in the 70′s are great days for getting those fall rounds of golf in. Outdoor people are out hiking to see the leaves that are just starting to turn fall colors, [...]

Happy Sunday my fellow Brothers of the leaf! I hope everyone had an awesome Labor Day weekend, I was able to get some great quality time in with those I care about. Then, on Labor day itself, I was able to get over to the Owl Shop in New Haven, CT. It is a great [...]

Welcome to Sunday of the Labor Day weekend 2013! I hope you find yourself in the company of good friends, fine cigars, and enjoying the unofficial end to summer! I made sure that since the weather was nice on Friday night, we dined on the patio at a local steak house and quietly smoked a [...]

Happy Sunday my fellow Brothers of the leaf! I hope everyone has been having an awesome summer, and I have to say mine has been pretty great. I just got back from the Jersey Shore last weekend, which was surprisingly an enjoyable trip. I had expected it to be mostly meatheads, but instead it seemed [...]

Happy Sunday my fellow Brothers of the Leaf! I’m finally working through all of my 2013 IPCPR trade show samples now that they have had a chance to sit and really re humidify after shipping. I have to say some of the samples I’ve smoked this week were phenomenal and I’m looking forward to the [...]

Happy Sunday my fellow brothers of the leaf! I’m sorry I’ve been a bit missing in action as of late as far as reviews go. Things have been quite hectic for me lately, but as you can see I’ve started to post up some more now. This week I reviewed the George Rico S.T.K. American [...]
